Frédéric Brunel is a consumer researcher dedicated to informing two main domains: consumer relationships and product design. His research strives for theoretical and substantive contributions and focuses on concepts of direct relevance to academia and practice. These include, for example, consumption communities on and off-line, word-of-mouth dynamics, customer relationship management and aesthetic response styles and skillsets. In order to inform these domains, Brunel is committed to developing a deep and contextualized understanding of the social-psychological and cultural factors that can guide and moderate consumers’ responses in these marketing applications.
